Destroyers of All is a prog-death metal band from Coimbra, Portugal, founded in 2011. The band’s sound is a blend of diverse musical influences from various styles ranging from thrash, death, and even black metal, to the hard rock and progressive metal styles.

The album was recorded at Golden Jack Studios Coimbra, the follow up to critically acclaimed EP “Into the Fire” (2013) features ten songs packed with mad riffs, virtuoso lead work, intricate dynamics that will catch you off-guard and a dark vocal delivery that ties together this complex gem.

“Bleak Fragments” will have worldwide distribution and will also be available through the usual digital marketplaces and streaming platforms. Pre-orders will be available soon through the Mosher website.
